You couldn’t make up a joke as good as the story in the Times today about the Arhus sperm bank Cryos International, which is marketing sperm from the men of Denmark by playing on the Scandanavian mystique, as well as the high success rates encountered with that sperm and the laws there that protect the anonymity of donors. One of us is on record in the journal Human Reproduction about the dangers of anonymous donation, but frankly the customers of this bank are already so far gone that issues about the risks of anonymity for their children are the least of their problems. File this under “soon to be a movie.”
